Stanford stays at No. 5 in AP Top 25

Stanford held on to its No. 5 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 college football poll released Sunday despite its lackluster performance in a 34-20 victory over Army the day before.

Arizona State also made it into the poll at No. 23 after squeaking past Wisconsin 32-30 on Saturday night in Tempe, Ariz.
